That's a BIG hole in the end of that bullet or is it just the camera angle?

Kynoch made these for rapid expantion on the big cats..

My .425,
.375 H&H,
7x57 (it HAS been used on Dangerous Game, don't think I will...)

I suppose I could add the 12GA, .300 Win Mag and .303 British to the list as all these have been/ are still being used for Dangerous Game. As stated by @grand veneur however, dangerous doesn't necessarily equate to "largest".

I've always found Warthog to be particularly troublesome until.........

Fabnosh, a Kornet is a little much for warthogs. Eland maybe.

Interesting choices, what made you decide to own two 375s and two 416s?

Haha…well actually a variety of CZ, Brno, Winchester M70 and Rem 700 chambered in two 375 H&H, two 416 Rigby, one 416 Rem Mag, one 375 RUM and one 458 Lott. I’m a sucker for good deals and I need to stay off the various online gun auctions/internet gun sales!

It wasn’t that long ago all I possessed for a large caliber rifle was a 375 RUM but with a renewed interest in African hunting, large caliber rifles and thanks to this site, I’ve acquired a few more. I should be more like BeeMaa and just have an R8 Blaser with a couple barrels!
